Blackberry Farm sits on the western side of Mount Tamalpais, tucked in the Gospel Flat area of Bolinas. The family farm and residence were established during the late 1970s on the site of the historic Peter’s Dairy Ranch. The original farmhouse dates back to the late 19th century and survived the great 1906 earthquake. Today, the 7-acre farm is being restored to sustainably support fruit orchards, cottage flower and kitchen gardens, honey bees, a boisterous flock of chickens, and naughty shetland sheep. Our self-serve farmstand attached to our barn has seasonal flowers, organic eggs, heirloom fruit, and local goods from the farm. Our property is the perfect rustic getaway for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll be surrounded by farm/ranch life: chickens clucking, roosters crowing, bees buzzing, and sheep bleating. We also have active nighttime wildlife: coyotes howling, raccoons foraging, owls hooting, etc. Bring earplugs if nature sounds are too much for you. We offer 4 walk-in tent sites that allow you to immerse yourself in nature. We welcome well-behaved pets ON LEASH that won’t harass the chickens, cats, sheep, other campers, or residents. Unruly pets and their campers will be asked to leave. No refund. Limit: 1 dog per site. Pitch your tent in a meadow shared by: Campsite 1 - left side of the meadow, closest to the common area and hot tub. Campsite 2 - middle of the meadow, closest to our fenced apiary and bee garden. Campsite 3 - right side of the meadow, near the orchard. (sites 1 and 3 are next to each other) Campsite 4 - front of the pasture, closest to the parking area (best for car/van campers wanting space to lounge near their parked vehicle.) Multiple sites may be booked for group camping. Sites 1 and 3 are next to each other under the Cypress Trees. Add site 2 if you would like the entire back half of the campground. Add site 4 if you'd like to have a maximum number of 16 total campers and 2 tents/per site. The common area has an outdoor shower, hot tub, covered bbq/cook area, tented (weather-protected) hangout space, and a place to stash your surfboard. The pizza oven is not available for campground use. Redwood Grove hangout areas have seating and tree swings. Please pack out your trash. We offer a recycling bin for glass bottles, cans, and clean paper. Parking is 100 yds or less from the campsites. We have a large wheelbarrow to help you cart your camping gear across the pasture to your campsite. No driving onto or parking in the meadow. Due to the narrow driveway and parking area (lack of turnaround), the site cannot accommodate RVs, trailers, or oversize vehicles beyond 16ft in length, 7ft in width, or 10 ft in height. 1 car per campsite, please. 15-minute walk to the beach and downtown.

I absolutely loved camping at the blackberry farm! It was dreamy. It was a little rainy and magical waking up with the animals and beautiful setting. We would definitely go back!

Charming Place for Camping

BBF Site 1 - Cypress Left

Tent camping at a farm has always been a wishful thinking kind of thing. I didn’t know it was possible to stay at a farm so this was such an exciting discovery. The farm is beautiful and has a magical charm about it from the spacious camping grounds, to the common area which had a good size kitchen, lounging space, dining space, showers, a hot tub, and bathrooms with plumbing. We made full use of the kitchen. They have pans, dishes and other useful items if you were unable to bring any or enough. The hot tub was the perfect temperature. Be prepared for a cold shower though or you can ask for help if someone is available. Greg was very helpful with adding propane that we wished we had asked sooner. It was a treat observing the chickens, wild bunnies and quail, sheep, alpaca, and hearing the cayotes, various birds and frogs at night. I love nature sounds so sleeping was not an issue. If nature sounds aren’t your thing, bring earplugs or headphones. We especially loved how we could purchase farm fresh eggs in their barn via Venmo. Delicious as we cooked them for breakfast twice in a row. The town of Bolinas captured our hearts. We will be back!

BBF Site 4 - Cypress Front

We were greeted immediately upon arrival and given a tour. The location of the farm feels truly magical, especially a walk down the driveway and lookout across the water towards the mountains. Our kids loved the sheep and chickens onsite. We enjoyed the hot tub but had some trouble keeping the shower warm.

Cute farm, great host, nice setup!

Rustic Farm Shed - Quail

My wife and I stayed in the Quail Shed for a night and loved it! The bed was super comfy. It's basic (bed + desk) but was clean. There was no power, but we had lights and a lantern with us so it didn't matter. It was also located right next to the sheep field, so it was fun to watch them graze. The communal space had a hot tub, gas fire pit, bathrooms and shower, and an outdoor kitchen with enough to get by. Host greeted us, was super friendly, and gave us a quick tour. He even went and grabbed fresh farm eggs when we said we were interested in buying. Location was perfect - a quick 10 minute walk to Bolinas, so we went out for dinner before relaxing back on the farm for the night. We would totally come again and recommend. 5/5
